JoeDirt Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 If you had to list Hogan's 10 best matches in his career, what would you put on the list? (if you can only think of 5, that's cool, lol)
Guest LooneyTune Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Hmmm....this is hard to do, but I'll rundown some in no particular order. He's had plenty of good-great matches with Randy Savage from 1985-1989 around the house show circuit and especially at MSG. Hogan carried Warrior to a match so great you can't believe it was all him. Hogan vs. Slaughter at WM VII is one of the most under-rated WM Main events ever. Hogan vs. Flair at several MSG shows that I have seen have peaked ***. Hogan vs. Orndorff series was pretty good, although I've only seen 3 of their matches (Big Event, SNME Cage, Spectraum Cage). Hogan vs. Bossman in the Cage at the 5/89 SNME is another match you wouldn't expect to be very good considering Bossman hadn't shown much signs of talent squashing jobbers and people half his size. The workrate was horrible, but the WM III and 2/88 Main Event matches vs. Andre The Giant should be on a best list. Speaking of recently, especially vs. The Rock at WM X-8 and if you liked "garbage brawls", vs. Vince McMahon from WM XIX. I have seen very little of WCW, so I can't comment on his matches there.
deancoles Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Hogan vs. Savage, Wrestlemania 5 Hogan vs. Stan Hansen Hogan vs. Bossman, SNME Hogan vs. Warrior, Wrestlemania 6 Hogan vs. Savage, Lumberjack Match Hogan vs. Slaughter, Wrestlemania 7 Hogan vs. Flair, Bash at The Beach 94 Hogan vs. Goldberg, Nitro 98 Hogan vs. Sting, Nitro in November 95(good match that should have been on PPV) Hogan vs. Luger, 100th Nitro(What Hogan/Sting at Starrcade should have been)
Guest ian. Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Hogan vs Flair - Cage Match - Halloween Havoc 94 Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior - Wrestlemania 6 Hogan vs Slaughter - Mania 7 Hogan vs Savage - Mania 5 Hogan vs Earthquake - SummerSlam 90 (I loved this match) that's all I can think of right now.
Tawren Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Hogan vs Stan Hansen, WWF vs All Japan Summit If I would have told you that Hogan would have had a better match than Bret Hart vs Mitsuhara Misawa, would you believe me? I doubt it, but he clicked with Hansen and we got a fantastic match.
Lil' Bitch Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Vs. The Undertaker - SSeries 91 God I still fucking love that match.
Guest DVD Spree Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 The IWGP rematch with Inoki was BOSS (in an 80s kinda way). I remember him busting out a spinning drop toehold, which is enough to put it up there on its own, plus it was great to see the Japanese crowd rallying against him and then going apeshit when he hit the AXABOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Some of his matches with King Kong Bundy after WM 2 were stunningly solid. His match with Harley Race in 88 that involved Race going through a table.
Guest Ray Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Hogan/Flair - MSG 11/30/91 was much better than I thought it would be. Hogan wrestles the right match, going all-out for revenge on Flair for what happened at Survivor Series. Hogan is the right type of opponent for Flair's stooging heel act. Good match. Hogan/Hansen - AJPW 4/90 is my favorite because it's Hogan not being "Hogan." Very fun brawl with Hogan getting nasty and a surprisingly cool finishing sequence.
Guest LooneyTune Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Hogan performed a spinning drop toehold?! That's more amazing than him performing an enziguri.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Why does his **** match with Flair at Halloween Havoc get overlooked for the lesser match at Batb 1994? Is it because the BATB match was more hyped and was the "first" on air showdown between these two?
The Dames Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Probably because the Havoc match was hyped on the retirement stip, which ended up like every other retirement stip out there these days. Dames
Guest LooneyTune Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Plus the return of the Black Scorpion and it ending up being Ed Leslie really put a bad taste in everyones mouth.
MikeJordan23 Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 vs. Flair at Uncensored 1999 - *** vs. Savage at WM 5 - **** vs. Warrior at WM 6 - *** 1/2 vs. Mr. Perfect CSHV - *** All I kind think of now...
Guest MikeSC Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Hogan/Rock anyone????? A terrible match with a lot of heat. -=Mike
CanadianChris Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 vs. Savage, WrestleMania V vs. Flair, Bash at the Beach 94 vs. Warrior, WrestleMania VI vs. Rock, WrestleMania XVIII vs. Slaughter, WrestleMania VII vs. Orndorff, Big Event vs. Hansen, AJPW vs. Bossman, SNME vs. Goldberg, Nitro vs. Lesnar, SmackDown He had decent SNME matches against Race and Bad News Brown as well.
